Fordingbridge Fudge
Fordingbridge Fudge was established in 2012 purely by accident rather than design.
I had been experimenting with our family recipe and cooking method for some time, as a bit of a hobby, trying to get the best results with the texture and taste, whilst trying not to destroy the kitchen (which I achieved with mixed results)!
All was well until one Christmas my youngest daughter, who runs her own accountancy practice, wanted a different type of gift to give her clients and asked me to make some fudge for her.
I guess I overestimated the quantities required and was left with a mountain of surplus fudge. At the time I had a shop in Fordingbridge High Street, so I did what most people would do rather than throw the fudge away, I left it on the counter for my customers to help themselves. I was surprised by the positive feedback and thought people were just being polite.
Anyway long story short here we are!
We now produce twenty seven regular flavours, anything from Baileys to Vanilla, plus Christmas flavours in gift bags and gift boxes. Our fudge is made using butter, Jersey milk and cream and condensed milk. Currently our most popular flavours are New Forest Honey and Cream (the honey is sourced from Strides New Forest Honey) and Clotted Cream.
Our gift bags are eco-friendly, home compostable and fully biodegradable.
Our fudge is available online from our website or from many outlets across the New Forest and Hampshire, which are listed on our website.
